Robert Vadra gets IAS Officer Transferred

The corruption circus caught up with Robert Vadra again today when it was alleged that he got an IAS officer transferred.

Robert Vadra had his moment of relief. The spotlight had firmly shifted away from him when Salman Khurshid came to the rescue with a Rs 71 lakhs scam. But the corruption circus caught up with him again today when it was alleged that he got an IAS officer transferred.

Senior Haryana IAS officer Ashok Khemka found himself at the centre of a political storm. On Monday, he had cancelled the mutation of a controversial land deal between Robert Vadra's company -Sky Light Hospitality and DLF in Gurgaon.

His action meant that DLF would not be able get the title of the prime land, measuring over 3.5 acres, transferred to its name.

As the director general of Land Consolidation and Land Records-cum-inspector general of Registration office, Khemka had initiated a probe into the land deals done by Vadra and his companies in four districts adjoining Delhi on Oct 8. His transfer order came on Oct 11.

Shocked? Could you have any other reaction? When we keep hearing news of government 'Babu's engaging in corruption, it was a refreshing change to see an IAS officer sticking to his guns and standing up to the 'powerful' people.
